Judge Douglas Patterson of Athens, AL; nauseating thief

 

The State of Alabama provided Douglas Patterson with a law license in 1992 after he graduated from Samford University School of Law.

 

On the morning of December 12, 2019, and after a grand jury in Limestone County handed down a three-count indictment, the state’s attorney general’s office and the FBI arrested District Judge Douglas Patterson for allegedly taking $47,800 from an elderly veteran and $47,000 from the county’s Juvenile Court Services Fund.

Doug is charged with using his official position of office for public gain by financially exploiting the elderly via theft of county funds. If convicted, Doug faces up to 20 years in prison. Bond was set at $30,000 and the Alabama Supreme Court ordered that he be suspended from his judicial position pending the conclusion of the felony charges he faces.

 

In a statement to the media, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said:

  • “The allegations contained in this indictment shock the conscience and illustrate a callous and selfish disregard for the law as well as the welfare of Alabama’s most vulnerable citizens: children and incapacitated seniors.”
  • “If proven, Patterson’s actions debase the judicial system.”

Doug’s egregious misconduct in scamming seniors began before he duped the voters into electing him as a Limestone County District Court judge

 

In March 2010, Patterson became the conservator of an elderly man named Charles Hardy, who was living in a nursing home for military veterans.  The state claims Patterson engaged in financial exploitation of the elderly when he withdrew the man’s funds into his business, personal and law firm accounts over a period of six years. Some of the illegal transfers of funds occurred after Doug ascended to his judicial throne.

 

An additional charge alleges that Doug, while serving as a conservator for Rudolph Allen, withdrew a sum between $499 and $1,500 from Allen’s estate for his own use after the man had died.

 

All that remains now is to see how long it takes before Doug cops a plea to reduce the amount of time he’ll have to spend at the Holman Correctional Facility in Hamilton, Alabama.

 

And lastly, we can only hope that the sentencing judge orders that Doug be assigned to Cell No. 126 at Holman where he’ll be roomed up with Clarice (real name Clarence) who is rumored to be a very friendly type of feller.
